It was believed that moving these stones would do great harm and only the sacrifice of a black pig with a red stripe could undo what was done. The pig skull is a common image in my work that references the idea that endless sacrifices are necessary to undo the brutal hand of development on this land.""

Beautiful Hawaii! Snow covered Maunakea this morning with the temperature at 26 degrees Fahrenheit. The differences in weather and snowfall are due to variations in microclimates and winds on the mauna. #maunakea #maunakeasnow #microclimate #hawaiisnow #winter2017 #lethawaiihappen #uhhilo #uhmanoa #hawaiiisland
